The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! - Chapter 105

105 Meeting a Young Couple

Zhou Xiaoli studied seriously and felt that time sped past quickly. In the blink of an eye, the afternoon had passed.

Wei Chiyu had long returned from his practice. He was in the courtyard and practiced another round of boxing.

Thinking of the money that Wei Chiyu spent to buy the stones for her today, she went to look for him.

However, she recalled that he was angry when she tried to pass him the parking fee the other time.

!!
This time, Zhou Xiaoli was rather cautious and slowly talked about paying him.

Wei Chiyu was also strange. This time, he was not angry. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he actually smiled when she spoke to him about this!

This person who does not smile actually smiled this time.

He was obviously in a good mood.

Zhou Xiaoli was speechless. Why was this person so fickle-minded in his mood?

She did a quick mental calculation of the sum she owed him.

Of the three stones she bought, one was three taels of silver, and the other two were five taels of silver, making a total of eight taels.

After counting, Zhou Xiaoli said, “You helped me pay for the stones today. That’s quite a lot.”

As she spoke, she handed the money to Wei Chiyu. “I should return it to you.”

Wei Chiyu didn’t accept it. He said, “No. Take it as payment for your cooking.”

Zhou Xiaoli: “You don’t want it?”

Wei Chiyu nodded. “Yes, I don’t want it.”

The others had said that he was spending money on his wife, how can he take it back now?

Just as he nodded, he saw that Zhou Xiaoli put away the money quickly.

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Xiaoli was overjoyed. She lamented that Wei Chiyu was a good man who treated money like dirt.

However, she said, “You’ve been paying me to cook. How long are you planning to freeload at my house?”

Then, she said in surprise, “Are you going to freeload for the rest of your life, or are you going to freeload until you get a wife?”

Wei Chiyu paused for a moment. “It’s not impossible.”

Zhou Xiaoli subconsciously felt that Wei Chiyu was talking about getting a wife. She immediately said, “Alright, since you’re so generous, I guarantee that I’ll feed you till you are fair and chubby, until you get a wife.”

The corners of Wei Chiyu’s mouth twitched when he heard that she wanted to feed him till he’s fair and chubby.

On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoli went off to look for Yuan Zhengchun to discuss the reclamation of the land in the backyard.

“Master, the backyard is so empty. Why don’t we plant vegetables there? That way, we’ll have vegetables to eat.”

Yuan Zhengchun nodded. “If you want to mess around, go ahead.”

“Alright, Master. You’re the best.”

“Master, what should we plant? What do you like to eat?”

“I definitely have to plant beans. I love beans.”

“Yes, plant some cucumbers too. I might make a cold dish for the Master in the summer.”

…

Zhou Xiaoli chattered non-stop. From time to time, she would plan what to plant in the backyard with Yuan Zhengchun.

Although Yuan Zhengchun only smiled and listened more than he replied, his heart was warm.

How long had it been since he felt the noise and warmth of a family?

It’s good that he now has a disciple.

Yuan Zhengchun could not help but sigh in contentment.

Zhou Xiaoli chatted with her master for a long time and had a meal on the mountain before she went down the mountain with Wei Chiyu.

It was evening and the sun was setting. The clouds were pink and looked extremely beautiful.

The two of them chatted as the sun set.

Naturally, Zhou Xiaoli was the one who spoke the entire time while Wei Chiyu listened quietly.

The wolf cub was in charge of jumping up and down to liven up the atmosphere.

The two of them and the wolf cub went down the mountain leisurely.

Just as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Xiaoli noticed that there seemed to be two people in the bamboo forest not far away, talking to each other.

The girl smiled coquettishly from time to time, acting extremely shy.

The man was dressed in plain clothes and was waving a fan in his hand. He could be considered as being elegant and handsome.

However, there was always a hint of frivolity in his smile.

Zhou Xiaoli did not recognize this man.

However, that girl looked a little familiar.

After the girl smiled after being teased, Zhou Xiaoli immediately recognized the person. Wasn’t she Lin Xiujuan’s daughter, Zhou Yuanyuan?

If that was the case, the person beside her must be her fiancé.

Although her family was now working with Liu Liangcai’s family to make sugar, Lin Xiujuan’s attitude towards her had also changed 180 degrees.

However, her impression of Liu Yuanyuan remained as a simple-minded and headstrong girl.

Liu Yuanyuan never came to the Zhou family, and Zhou Xiaoli would not look for her. Therefore, the two rarely interacted.

At least, until now, she had not seen her for a long time.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli only took a glance and did not pay any more attention to it.

Together with Wei Chiyu, they quickened their pace and left the place.

As Zhou Xiaoli left, Liu Yuanyuan’s fiancé, Chen Dakun, noticed her.

When he saw Zhou Xiaoli, he was bowled over by her beauty.

“Who is that young lady? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

Hearing Chen Dakun’s question, Liu Yuanyuan was startled. She turned around and saw the backs of Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu.

She was immediately displeased.

However, when he thought of what her mother and father had said, she did not say anything unpleasant.

She only said, “It’s a neighbor of mine.” After that, she didn’t say anything else.

Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan was unwilling to say more, Chen Dakun did not want to make Liu Yuanyuan unhappy, so he did not press further.

On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoli had already returned home. She had long forgotten about seeing Liu Yuanyuan in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain.

When she arrived at the door, she said goodbye to Wei Chiyu and entered the house.

They had just eaten at home.

Zhou Junjun and Zhou Xiaoli were feeding the donkey with hay then.

Zhang Lan sat at the door and sewed soles onto the shoes while Zhou Yu watered the vegetable fields in the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli had returned, Zhou Yu smiled and said, “Girl, you’re finally back. We were just waiting for you to come back. Our wheat should have dried by now.”

Zhou Xiaoli laughed. “It’s alright. The place where we dry the wheat is not a field. There won’t be any rain.”

With that said, Zhou Yu hurriedly finished watering the plants and entered the alternate space to pack his precious wheat.

Zhou Xiaoli was not idle either. She went to the alternate space to pick fruits for everyone to eat.

As the family busied themselves, night fell.

The night passed uneventfully until the next day.

Due to her master’s request to go for a morning jog on the mountain, Zhou Xiaoli could not sleep in.

She got up early and went up the mountain.

When she came back from the mountain at noon, she heard Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan say that Wei Chiyu’s friend had already brought workers over.

Wei Chiyu had also informed Ma Fei that he would bring the workers to work this afternoon.

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but marvel at it. Li Da was really efficient and had found them workers today just as he had said.

In the afternoon, the nine workers on Ma Fei’s side arrived as well. As soon as the two sides met and with Ma Fei giving instructions, they began to resume work.

With that, there was no problem with the construction of their houses. Everyone in the Zhou family was relieved.

Zhou Yu also listened to Zhou Xiaoli and found three helpers from the neighboring White Sand Village. They were all honest and capable farmers.

They said that they had discussed among themselves and could start exploring Qingyuan Mountain in the afternoon.
